Title
Bobadil disgraced or Kate in a rage-
Description
English: Catherine II stands between the King of Poland (left), whom she seizes by his pigtail queue, and the Duke of Brunswick, whose back she kicks. She stands in profile to the right, turning her back on Stanislaus, and threatening Brunswick with outstretched sceptre. She says "B------t your Cowardly Spirit I'll Kick you to Hell, what I suppose you was frightened at their Naked A------sses. Get out of my sight, or I'll send you and your Army------after my Husband" [cf. BMSat 8073].


Brunswick (right), who wears military uniform, flees from her terror-stricken, dropping his hat. He says:

"And here my rendezvous is quite cut off.
Honor is cudgell'd, well, Bawd will I turn
To Brunswick will I steal, & there I'll steal:
And Patches will I get unto these cudgell'd scars,
And swear I got them in the Gallic Wars."

Stanislaus, who is in back view, is being dragged from left to right. He says "Let my Pole go oh! Stanislaus what Disgrace". On a table beside him are a crown labelled 'to the King of Poland' and a paper: 'rules & orders to be Implicitly obeyed Cat Catherine.' On the wall behind him is a 'Map of France' showing the south of 'England' and the 'english channel'; France, the word in reversed letters, is bisected by a line, the northern portion inscribed 'my share'. After the title is etched (as in BMSat 8125):

'For Brunswicks Duke with Ninety Thousand men
March'd into France and then!! - & then Marched out again' 1 October 1792.

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) Catherine urged Prussia and Austria to intervene in France in order to absorb Poland unmolested; cf. BMSat 8143. Rose, 'Pitt and the Great War', pp. 9, 46, 51 ff. The Second Partition Treaty was signed 23 Jan. 1793. See 'Camb. Mod. Hist.' viii. 531 ff. For Brunswick's retreat see BMSat 8125, &c.

'Catherine Donnant Congé a françois Et a brunsvick Le foireux', de Vinck No. 4506, appears to be a reduced copy of BMSat 8124 with French inscriptions, in which Brunswick is altered to the Emperor Francis II and Stanislaus becomes Brunswick. [So described, but the inscriptions suggest that Brunswick remains Brunswick, and Stanislaus is altered to Francis II.] The Empress says to Francis, "Vas Coquin, vas en France avec Ton armée La gloire t'y appelle Cours ou Si non . . .'". He answers "Je puis bien y Entrer mais pour en Sortir Gare La Foire". Brunswick says "C'est bien aise à dire mais a faire c'est ce que nous verrons". The imprint is 'London f. picadilly.'

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
